Volunteers say they're now finding meth on an almost weekly basis

The Bear Clan says they pulled nearly six grams of methamphetamine off Winnipeg's streets Friday night — more than they've ever found before.

To put that into context, a point of meth costs about $10, which could keep someone high for nearly 13 hours, says James Favel, co-founder of the Bear Clan Patrol. There are about 10 points per gram of meth, he explained.

"All the stuff we've found to date, that is larger than all of it combined," he said.
